Yâall pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show ya
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mama too
Weâre about to go down and you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you donât care
Glide by the people as they stop to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance
Do your dance quick
Mama, come on baby tell me whatâs the word
Word up
(Up, up)
Everybody say
When you hear the call youâve got to get it underway
Word up
(Up, up)
Itâs the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that youâll be heard
Now all you sucker DJs, who think youâre fly
Thereâs got to be a reason and we know the reason why
You try to put on those airs, and act real cool
But youâve got to realize that youâre acting like fools
If itâs music we can use it
Be free to dance
We donât have the time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance,
No romance for me
Mama, come on baby tell me whatâs the word
Word up
(Up, up)
Everybody say
When you hear the call youâve got to get it underway
Word up
Itâs the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that youâll be heard
Word up
(Up, up)
Everybody say
When you hear the call youâve got to get it underway
Word up
(Up, up)
Itâs the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that youâll be heard
Word up
(Up, up)
Everybody say
When you hear the call youâve got to get it underway
Word up
(Up, up)
Itâs the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that youâll be heard
